- I've done it the other way. It cost me about $60 for a transformer which
- could work both ways (Its currently powering my US sterio).
-
- I also purchased a CEI A1962 monitor which can cope with any voltage
- automaticaly :)
-
- Another way would be to swap the internal transformer, which would be
- neater, but too perminant for me.
